If you want a delivery right at home, I order (frequently!) from Quickie's. Delicious angus burgers, seasoned fries (and sweet potato ones too!), and get an extra of the quickies' sauce! Delish.

Best place to go eat at the Fort Lauderdale Beach (people usually call it "Las Olas", although Las Olas Ave. is actually another one). Fyi a little North of here, there's a Hooters with a great view.

Nice place to stroll for a walk and pick a place to eat. Some have live music. We usually head to Borojo for some empanadas with a delish green sauce.

Clubs, beach, restaurants, shopping, you name it! If you're going dining prices round about $25-50/person. I'd park at the public garage parking on 11th–easier than on the street.
